Everyday Food For Everyday People

If you are looking for a new party nibble or a starter to an Italian themed dinner party, these might just be what you are looking for. I cannot remember a party where I did not serve these. They are sooo good. Not to mention, easy to make and done in no time at all.

Tonight, since it is Friday, I decided appetizers and drinks were in order. So, the stuffed mushrooms finally got to make an appearance. I used quite large mushrooms in this recipe, but you can easily use button mushrooms for a party nibble. It makes for easy to pick up food.

Trim the ends off the mushrooms and discard. Twist the stems out and finely chop them. In a medium skillet set over medium to high heat, add the olive oil, garlic, onions, peppers and mushrooms stems. Cook for about 5-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add in the bread crumbs, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir well until a stuffing forms and remove from heat. This will just be about a minute. Spoon the filling into the centres of the mushrooms and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle over the parmesan cheese. Return to oven for a further couple of minutes until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.
